0:52Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to make his first foreign trip since a warrant for his arrest on alleged war crimes was issued by the International Criminal Court.
The Kremlin is preparing Putin’s visit to China for the Belt and Road Forum in October, according to three people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the issue is sensitive. Putin has accepted the invitation from Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the event, one of the people said.
Putin hasn’t left Russia since the court in The Hague announced the warrant in March, though he has visited Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. He skipped the BRICS summit in South Africa last week after the government there made clear it would have to comply with the order to arrest him as a signatory to the ICC. He also told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he won’t attend next month’s Group of 20 summit, though India isn’t a signatory to the court.
